Environmental Setting
The subject property is surrounded by the 1 -15 Freeway to the north and a mix of single -
family residences and commercial uses to the west and south. The property is across the
street from a vacant lot to the east.
Proposed Use & Operational Parameters
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing automotive service building on the
project site, retrofit the existing fueling canopy and gas pumps and construct a new 3,010
square foot 7 Eleven convenience store. The architectural theme of the 7 Eleven is
intended to be compatible with the historic downtown district and is similar to City Hall.
The project also consists of the upgrade of the existing landscape and the incorporation of
a plant palette consistent with City of Lake Elsinore Landscape Guidelines, new paving, 15
parking spaces with appropriate striping, new wrought iron fencing and a new infiltration
basin which will be located on the north side of the subject property. In addition, building
signage will be new and the existing freeway sign and existing monument sign along Main
Street will be enhanced to be compatible with the proposed building's architectural
features.
The proposed 7 Eleven development will provide about ten (10) full time and part time jobs
to the community. The hours of operation will be 24 hours a day, which will offer convenient
shopping to the immediate community as well as a gas services immediately adjacent to
the freeway off -ramp. Since the location, size, design, on site traffic patterns, and
operational characteristics will remain the same as the former Union 76 gas station there
will not be an increase to the existing noise, traffic or other environmental conditions.
Since the new 7 Eleven convenience store will operate 24 hours a day, it will incorporate
updated security measures by requiring employees to be trained as part of 7 Eleven's

that it will offer a large diversity of food and other miscellaneous items such as magazines,
fresh brewed coffee, milk, cheeses, chips, prepared foods and baked goods, along with
soft drinks and other non - alcoholic beverages. Although 7 Eleven considers the sale of
beer and wine to be an important concept of their business, it is expected to comprise only
about 4% of the total sales floor area and about 10% of the total sales.
The development of the new 7- Eleven new building and site improvements will vastly
improve the visual aesthetics of the Gateway into Downtown Lake Elsinore.
Analysis
Commercial Design Review No. 2013 -02
The applicant is requesting the approval of a Commercial Design Review to allow for the
design and development of a new 3,010 square foot 7 Eleven convenience store and gas
station on an existing 1.13 acre site. A new infiltration basin will be constructed on the
undeveloped portion of the site. The new 7 Eleven convenience store will have a total of
6% lot coverage, landscaping will be approximately 19.5% of the project site, and the
hardscape coverage will be approximately 40 %. It should also be noted that only the
proposed development area where the new 7 Eleven convenience store, new parking lot,
landscaping and related improvements will occur, will be enclosed by a new six (6-0 ") foot
high wrought iron fence.
Traffic
7 eleven expects one or two (2) deliveries of products by a medium size truck to the 7
Eleven convenience store each day. These deliveries would occur during morning hours.
There will not be any additional access points added to the project site and the interior
traffic pattern will remain the same. Therefore, there will not be an increase in the existing
noise, traffic or other environmental conditions.
Pedestrian Accessibility

19.5 %, which will exceed that of the minimum of 15% as required by the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code LEMC, applicable to commercial developments.
Architecture
The architectural style of the proposed 7 Eleven convenience store is intended to blend
with that of the Lake Elsinore Historic Downtown by providing a red brick facade, green
canopies, and goose neck reflected lighting.. The building will feature a variation of
multilevel rooflines and parapets that will function as architectural features as well as to
screen the mechanical equipment and air conditioning condensers.
The building will also have decorative brick cornices that will serve as tower elements and
architectural accents to the building. The enhancements, which have been incorporated
within the architectural design, include alternate direction, position, as well as recess and
pop -out bricks throughout the building elevations therefore creating a noticeable and visible
design of the building. The architectural design will also incorporate a green color fabric
canopy at the east elevation which faces Main Street; this elevation will also have a
promotional box area of approximately 5'x5' at the left side and a second one on the
opposite end, which will be recess into the wall which will work simply as an architectural
accent.
The proposed design represents that of the 1920's Storefront style which was typically
rectangular in shape with a symmetrical design, decorative columns and or cornices,
parapets that extend over the roof lines, and the location of the sign located high on the
face of the parapet wall with an awning or canopy accent.
Color and Materials
The applicant is proposing the development of the 7- Eleven to have a brick facade which is
a recommended material that would reflect that of the design characteristics and styles
which were prevalent in the City from 1880 to 1930. The following is a chart with the colors

with a round sign featuring the 7 Eleven logo. The applicant will also add a separate "City
of Lake Elsinore Historic Downtown" sign, an electronic gasoline price sign, a wall sign and
a window sign, all which should substantially comply with the submitted plans and applied
conditions of approval. In order to assure that the freeway pylon sign and the monument
sign along Main Street reflect the building, Staff has added a condition of approval
(Condition No. 20) that requires the border around the 7 Eleven logo to match the brick
fagade of the building.
Zone Change No. 2013 -03
On December 13, 2011, the City Council adopted the Downtown Master Plan and the
related Downtowncode. The Downtowncode established the zoning standards that are
intended to implement the Downtown Master Plan. Section 1.4 of the Downtowncode
includes a detailed land use matrix that specifies permitted uses, conditionally permitted
uses and prohibited uses for each of the Master Plan districts and the land uses within
each district. Although there are several existing gasoline stations located within the
downtown area, the matrix does not currently list gasoline stations as an allowable land
use. This means the existing facilities are nonconforming land uses with limited ability to
provide new upgraded improvements.
For this reason, the applicant submitted an application for a zone change which requests
that the Downtowncode be amended to add gasoline stations as a conditionally permitted
use for the subject property. Staff concurs with the request, but is also recommending that
the Land Use Matrix in the Downtowncode be amended to recognize the existing gas
stations located at the corners of Main Street and Sumner Avenue and at Graham Avenue
and Spring Streets. In order to make gasoline stations a conditionally permitted use in
some areas subject to the Downtown Master Plan, with some limitations, Staff's
recommended changes to the Land Use Matrix are:
1. Add "Gasoline Dispensing Establishment (subject to Municipal Code Section
17.112.090)" as a use permitted with a Conditional Use Permit within the
Gateway Commercial zone in the Gateway District.
2. Add "Gasoline Dispensing Establishment (subject to Municipal Code Section
17.112.090)" as a use permitted with a Conditional Use Permit within the
Residential Mixed Use zone in the Garden District
3. Add Gasoline Dispensing Establishment (subject to Municipal Code Section
17.112.090)" as a use permitted with a Conditional Use Permit within the
General Commercial zone of the Historic District.
4. Apply a footnote to the above three changes in the Land Use Matrix that reads:
"In order to prevent a concentration of Gasoline Dispensary Establishments,
such establishments are conditionally permitted when located no closer than
1,000 feet from any existing Gasoline Dispensing Establishment within the

Downtown Master Plan boundaries"
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -02
Paragraph O of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Section 17.112.090 requires approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for the concurrent sale of motor vehicle fuel with alcoholic
beverages. Additionally, the proposed changes to the Downtowncode described above
would require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit for "gasoline dispensing
establishments ". The subject conditional use permit application has been filed pursuant to
03these requirements.
Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity
The State of California Business and Professions Code mandates that off - premise
(consumption) alcohol sales establishments that are located within a census tract that is
over concentrated with similar alcohol - related uses obtain a Public Convenience and
Necessity (PCN) finding from the local jurisdiction. 7 Eleven is proposing to locate in a
census tract which contains eight off - premise alcohol establishment licenses. State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control guidelines only allows for two off - premise
alcohol establishments within this census tract. Staff feels that the addition of this license
within this census tract is not a concern due to the fact that 7 Eleven will only devote
approximately 4% of its floor area to alcohol sales. In addition, the Lake Elsinore Police
Department has been notified of this application and does not object to the issuance of this
license.
Upon concurrence of the Planning Commission and signature of the Chairperson, the PCN
letter (attached) will be forwarded to ABC for processing.
Environmental Determination
Staff has determined that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code § §21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the State CEQA
Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs § §15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15332
(Class 32 — In -Fill Development Projects) because the Project is consistent with the
applicable General Plan designation and policies, as well as zoning designation and
regulations, the Project is within the City's boundaries and on a site less than five acres
surrounded by urban uses, the Property has no value as habitat, and approval of the
Project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water
quality and the Project is adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

shape of the property. Sufficient setbacks and enhanced onsite landscaping
have been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas as a person
moves along abutting streets and within the center. In addition, safe and efficient
circulation has been achieved onsite.

visually pleasing, non - detractive relationship between the proposed development
and existing projects through the use of architectural design that is similar to
historic downtown Lake Elsinore. Materials and colors are proposed including
architectural accents and colors that blend with surrounding developments and
provide evidence of a concern for quality and originality.
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the Project is not anticipated to
result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Project is exempt from CEQA provisions
pursuant to a Class 32 exemption, the Project was reviewed and conditioned by

development, creates the least amount of disturbance, and does not negatively
impact the residents or businesses of Lake Elsinore. The Project will not have a
significant effect on the environment.

Code, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have
been incorporated into the approval of the Project to ensure development of the
